Shared modeling can help schools predict, avert dropouts
A research team co-led by Cornell found that for schools without the resources to conduct learning analytics to help students succeed, modeling based on data from other institutions can work as well as local modeling, without sacrificing fairness......»»
Modeling study: Linking carbon markets with an allowance exchange rate yields environmental, economic dividends
Carbon markets have become a critical policy tool to combat climate change. They allow firms that emit greenhouse gases to buy and sell the right to pollute, which gives the firms flexibility while also reducing carbon emissions at the lowest cost. A.....»»
